Summary

I come from a working background and have worked from I was a teenager from babysitting, helping to look after my disabled uncle and my grandparents when they were ill.

In jobs I have always been conscientious about the job I am doing and always show up to work on time.

I can communicate well with others such as customers and Doctors when the need calls for.

I have a lot of experience with customer care, stock management and am always willing to learn new things.

Outside of work I have experience with people who have disabilities from having cerebral palsy and paraplegic, to autism and also dementia on top of others. Therefore I am able to adapt to a person's needs.

About me

I am a very hard worker and love a challenge. I do not like to be standing about doing nothing and I am always willing to learn new things as this is the key to keeping up with the world as it is always changing.

I am calm and always get on with my collegues, whether it be helping them to achieve their goals or asking them for help if I am unsure of anything.

I am diagnosed autistic which does not affect my work except for when I get overstimulated which can be caused by sudden changes or people shouting at me eg upset customers.  Other than that I manage my condition well.
